LEaATioN OF Chili, 

Washington, March 8, 1874. 

Sir : In compliance with special orders which I have received from my 
government, I have the honor to invite, in its name, your excellency's 
Government, and, through it, the people of the United States, to take 
part in the international exhibition of productions of art and industry 
which will be opened at Santiago, September 16, 1875. Your excellency 
will see by the abridged translation,* which for the present I have the 
honor to send you, the principal rules by which the exhibtion is to be 
governed. 

The government of Chili has decreed the holding of this exhibition 
from a desire to make known the productions of the soil and industry of 
its own country, and to afford foreigners a favorable opportunity to dis- 
play their own there, and it trusts that the Government of the United 
States, well knowing how great an impulse an event of this nature is 
likely to give to commerce, will deem the project in question worthy of its 
attention. 

My government in soliciting, as it does, the co-operation of the Gov- 
ernment and people of the United States in this work of common inter- 
est, not only has in view the obtainment of the greatest possible pub- 
licity for the enterprise, but it eainestly hopes that through it the people 
of Chili and of the United States may be brought into closer relations 
with each other, and that the;y may. learn to know and esteem each other 
better. It hopes thus to oontiMbute to the strengthening and perpetua- 
tion of the bonds of peace and harmony which have ever so happily 
existed between the two nations. 

I am hapi)y to avail myself, sir, of this occasion to renew to your ex- 
cellency the expression of the high esteem and respect with which 1 am 
your faithful and obedient servant, 

FRANCISCO GONZALEZ ERRAZURIZ.

Government of the United States will take some action in favor of the 
international exhibition which is to be held at Santiago. 

In order that the interests of this countrj^ may be properly repre- 
sented without delay, as regards the said exhibition, ray government has 
appointed special commissioners, resident at Santiago. Your excellency 
will find the names of these persons in the second number of the accom- 
panying Official Bulletin. With the same intent, it has designated other 
persons, resident in this country. The latter are the consuls of Chili at 
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, in addition to the parties 
whose names are given in the list which will be found in the document 
already referred to. In appointing these two commissions my govern- 
ment has selected persons who unite with a knowledge of the advan- 
tages and needs of Chili and the United States, a generous interest in 
the welfare of both countries, that they may furnish information and 
advice to exhibitors. If, however, your excellency thinks proper, you 
may consult your own wishes in regard to altering these commissions, 
or to appointing additional members thereof. 

Permit me once more to express to your excellency the sentiments of 
high consideration and esteem with which I am your faithful and obe- 
dient servant, 

FRANCISCO GONZALEZ ERRAZUEIZ.

DECREE APPROVING THE PLANS AND ESTLMATES OF THE BUILDING FOR 

THE EXHIBITION. 

Santiago, March 14, 187:3. 

Mr. Minister : I have the honor herewith to send your excellency the plans and esti- 
mates for the building intended for the exposition which is to take place in 1875. 

The board of directors having been honored by a supreme decree of January 2 of the 
present year, with the direction of the preparations for that exhibition, has given seri- 
ous attention to the requirements which that building must fulfill, and to the kind ot 
building which will be necessary. 

After long deliberation it has approved the following plans, by reason of very Aveighty 
considerations of expediency which I must state to your excellency. 

It being impossible to determine in advance the amount of space which will be re- 
quired by the articles to be exhibited, and since, in similar cases, even the highest 
calculations are found too low in this respect, the board thought it ver}" proper to ex- 
amine the requirements of certain permanent uses to which, after the exhibition, these 
buildings might be applied, and it assigned the buildings of a solid character which 
are to be erected there to the satisfying of these requirements, leaving for the com- 
pletion of the exposition some accessory buildings, which will be erected if the circum- 
stances shall render it advisable. 

These requirements, however, we had to combine in a system of buildings which 
should satisfy them, without forgetting the large size which is necessary for buildiugs 
intended for exhibitions, and likewise bearing in nund the fact that the expenditure 
must not be very onerous for the national treasury 

In view^ of the progress of the country, a commodious and spacious place is needed 
in which provincial exhibitions may be annually held, and also, at intervals of one or 
two years, others of a national character. A good part of the national museum, per- 
haps the zoological portion, requires spacious ajiartments in the immediate vicinity of 
what, soontr or later, is to be the garden of plants, the botanical and the zoological 
garden. There is no building in Santiago capable of properlj'^ accomniodating an audi- 
ence on such occasions as the distributions of prizes or other official ceremonies. If the 
country continues to progress as it is now doing, its agriculture Avill soon require the 
establishment of a large school like those which exist in other countries. 

All these needs, which have already been seriously felt, will be satisfied by the build- 
ing which will be occupied for a short time bj- the exhibition, according to the plan 
which we have prepared. 

We have therefore thought that these buildings ought to be of solid material, and 
that the expenditure will not be very severely felt, since they will subsequently be 
used for purposes of utility and even of immediate necessity. 

The present buildings may, moreover, in case of need, very easily have additions 
built to them. 

Such, Mr. Minister, are the considerations which have been had in view in the prep- 
aration of the annexed plans, as regards the4r extent and form. 

xVs verbal explanations may be necessary in regard to some details, the author of the 
plans will be at your excellency's orders whenever you may be pleased to express to 
me a desire to that effect. 

As the exhibition is to be opened, according to the aforesaid decree, on the 5th of 
April, 1875, it will be absolutely necessary for the l)uilditig to be entirely completed in 
January, or, at the very latest, in February of said year, innsmuch as only twenty or 
twenty-one months will then be available, while eighteen or nineteen months at least 
will be required for the completion of the work. 

With sentiments of the most distinguished consideration, I subscribe myself, 
Your excellency's obedient servant, 

DOMINGO BEZANILLA, President. 

Jos6 Abelardo Nunez, Secretary. 

His Excellency the Minister of Finance. 



Santiago, March 15, 1873. 
His excellency the President has this day decreed as follows : 

" In view of the foregoing note, and the plans and estimates which accompany it, I 
decree : 

" 1st. The plans of the building, for the exhibition which is to be opened April 5, 
187.5, are hereby approved. 

"2d. Until the funds necessary for the completion of said, vv^ork' shall have been 
obtained from Congress, the president of the National Agricultural Society is author- 
ized to expend the sum of 12,659.20 for the preparation of the ground which is to be 
occupied by the said building. Let this sum be deducted from item thirty-two of the 
bndjret. Also, let the sum of !|1,650 be deducted from the same item. This sum will be 
paid by the general treasury to the ])resident of the aforesaid society, to enable him to 
pay for the preparation of said plans. 

"Let it be countersigned, recorded, and communicated." 



I transmit it to you in reply to your note of this date. 
God guard you. 

The Presideisit of the National Agricultural Society. 



E.- BARROS LUCO. 



Santiago, Juve, 1873. 

Mr. Minister : The board of directors of the National Agricultural Society having 
been honored by his excellency, the President of the republic, with the important duty 
of preparing and organizing the exhibition which, by a decree of the 2d of .January 
last, is to be opened in this city on the 16th of September, 1875, has taken the greatest 
interest in this delicate and patriotic task, and has given it all the attention which it 
merits. 

Your excellency is not unaware of the difiSculties of such a work, for although the 
first attempt at an agricultural fair in 1869 was a successful — I may say a very success- 
ful — one, in the present instance the needs of the country and the high purposes which 
are to be served by the exhibition of 1875, require much greater labors, not only in the 
preparation of a suitable place, in the securing of publicity for the matter abroad, in 
the organization of the various commissions, but also during the time when the exhibition 
shall be open and while the jurors shall be engaged in the performance of their duties. 
Nevertheless, although the board over which I have the honor to preside fully realizes 
the difficulties and the responsibilities connected with the enterprise, it feels confident 
of its ability to carry the same to a successful termination, relying upon the patriotic 
co-operation of the government and of all citizens who are truly interested in the 
progress of the country. 

The supreme government having authorized the erection of buildings of the neces- 
sary kind and size for the exhibition, which buildings, as your excellency is aware, 
have already been commenced, this board has devoted its attention to the preparation 
of draughts of the regulations and of the general programme for the exhibition, and I 
have the honor to transmit these draughts with the present note, to the end that, 
according to the decree of the 2d of January last, your excellency may be pleased to 
submit them to his excellency the President of the republic. 

I shall take the liberty to state in this communication some of the principal considera- 
tions which the board has had in view in giving its approval to the regulations and 
programme of the exhibition and programme of 1875. 

The board, acting in harmony with the lofty views which dictated the decree above 
referred to, has especially sought to form an adequate estimate of the magnitude of the 
exhibition of 1875, and of the requirements which it is to satisfy, taking into considera- 
tion The ])resent condition of the country and the germs of wealtih, whose development is 
to be promoted by that great concourse. 

The l)oard has not confined itself to agriculture and mining, which constitute the 
two great sources of the country's wealth, but lias given much attention to every- 
thing that can contribute to the encouragement of the industrial enterprises which of 
late years have begun to be developed in the country. It has been obliged to devote 
very special study to the financial situation of the republic, in order to find out what 
are the most dee]»ly-felt needs and the most important interests to be served, its desire 
being to attract to tlie country whatever might promote its improvement, knowledge, 
or financial prosperity. 

In accordance with these ideas the exhibition has been divided into four principal 
sections, for tlm purposi; of facilitating the system of classification: 

Tlie liiKt for raw niateiial or unmanufactured productions, intended for purposes of 
alimentation and foi- the various industries; 

The second for machinery of all kinds, including whatever is used for the manufac- 
ture of goods from raw material ; 



The third for productions already manufactured and intended to supply the vavious 
wants of mankind ; and finally, 

The fourth for the tine arts. 

Althou<;h this division is sufficiently general, and all kinds of natural or manufac- 
tured productions could, according to it, be received at the exhibition, the programme 
specifies the articles that are to bo comprised in each of the various groups, especially 
those which are most demanded by the wants of the country. The special commissions 
of the various sections may hereafter prepare detailed instructions for the better infor- 
mation of exhibitors. 

As regards the general rules for the admission of articles to be exhibited, and the fa- 
cilities to be granted to exhibitors, an effort has beeu made to lay down such as might 
be most condiu;ive to the good order of the internal regimen of the exhibition, and its 
most expeditious service. On this point, I shall only take the liberty of calling your 
excellency's attention to the propriety of detailing, when the proper time arrives, a 
special custom-house officer for the purpose of inspecting, in the exhibition-building, 
all articles brought there, so that this formality may not be necessary at Valparaiso. 

In the general regulations for the exhibition, provision has been made as regards the 
officers who are to be intrusted with the direction of affairs, and who are to assign the 
duties of the principal employes and of the various commissions, both at home and 
abroad, which have charge of the organization and conduct of the exhibition. 

Your excellency will observe that, in the first article, it is provided that the directive 
commission of the exhibition shall consist of the present board of directors of the Na- 
tional Agricultural Society ; this provision was necessary because, as your excellency 
is aware, this board, according to the statutes of the societyj is renewed every year, 
and the commission having been appointed and the work commenced by one board, 
various delays and difficulties might arise from a change of the persons forming such 
board. 

The work necessary for the exhibition may be divided into two kinds, viz : That 
which relates to giving publicity to the enterprise in foreign countries and that con- 
nected with the preparation of the locality and the interior organization. The corre- 
vspoudence with the foreign and provincial commissions will undoubtedly require much 
attention, and the deliberations and decisions, both of the directive commission and of 
the special commissions, will likewise demand much care on the part of the chief 
officer of the exhibition, who will be obliged to busy himself at the same time with the 
many details connected with the proper arrangement of the locality, the direction of 
employes, the internal regimen, the labors of the jurors, &c. Such varied and multi- 
plied tasks could with difficulty be attended to by a single person, and the board of 
directors having the best interests of the exhibition in view, has decided, as your ex- 
cellency will see by referring to the second chapter of the regulations, to assign to a 
president the performance of the duties mentioned in article fifth, and to a director- 
general those connected with the internal and financial part, so to speak, of the ex- 
hibition. Both provisions clearly mark out and define the sphere of action of each of 
these two functionaries, thus preventing all embarrassments or complications in the 
performance of their labors, for the directive commission being presided over by the 
president of the exhibition, and the director-general being vice-president thereof, this 
board will always take the initiative in all decisions, the two principal officers con- 
fining themselves to the execution of the same, within the sphere assigned them by 
the regulations. 

The undersigned has already had to assume the duties, de facto, of director-general, 
for, as your excellency knows, it is now more than a month since work was commenced 
on the buildings in which the exhibition is to be held, and, since he is to remain in 
that-coramissiou, which, during the continuance of those labors, will require constant 
vigilance, the undersigned thinks that the present vice-president of the society might 
perform the duties of president of the exhibition, thus commencing at once the organ- 
ization of the domestic and foreign commissions and the home correspondence. 

I reiterate to your excellency the expression of my sentiments of distinguished con- 
sideration and regard.

President.

His Excellency the Minister of Finance. 



GENERAL PROGRAMME OF THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION IN 

CHILI IN 1875. 

The government of the republic of Chili has decreed the opening of an exhibition at 
Santiago on the 16th of September, 1875, to which there will be admitted not only the 
natural products and manufactures of that country, but those which may be sent from 



8 

any part of America or Europe. This decreed convention has a double object : first, to 
show the progress which this republic has made since the first exhibition in 1869 ; and, 
second, to stimulate, by means of the exhibition, to new productions and new indus- 
tries, to encourage improved styles of labor, and the general development of national 
resources and commerce. 

Chili, a country new and extremely rich, naturally needs to improve the cultivation 
of her soil ; to develop the mineral wealth which abounds in her territory ; to encourage 
those industries which will transform these products and enlarge the knowledge 
ah'eady acquired ; and this she hopes to accomplish by means of the exhibition of 
inventions that have been used by more advanced nations. 

It is iuteuded by the international exhibition of Chili to open new fountains for the 
development of the agricultural and manufacturing interests of the country, and to 
contribute, in the most practical way, to increase its present commerce with the nations 
of America, and with the principal markets of Europe. 

The republic of Chili is situated between the great mountain-range of the Andes and 
the Pacific Ocean ; has an extensive sea-coast and numerous harbors, which afibrd great 
facilities both for the exportation of its varied products of the soil and the mine, and 
the importation of the commodities required from other countries. 

In the interior of the country the means of communication are easy and rapid, either 
by navigable rivers or by substantial and well-appointed railroads. There are at this 
time 1,264 kilometers of railroads in Chili in running condition, and 340 more under 
contract, and in a fair way to be completed at no distant day. The greater part of 
these roads belong to the state. The territory is also crossed by telegraph-lines to the 
extent of 2,515 kilometers. Numerous steamship-companies keej) up a constant inter- 
course between the most important port of the republic, Valparaiso, the principal ports 
of Europe, and the eastern and western coast of America. The South Pacific Steam- 
Navigation Company sends out a steamer weekly, via the Straits of Magellan, or via 
the Isthmus of Panama, from Valparaiso to Liverpool, and the White Star Line twice a 
Ijionth by the former of these routes. Between Bordeaux and Valparaiso the General 
Transatlantic Company and a private line maintain also a iiermanent service. The 
German line, Kosraos, makes trips twice a month, increasing the business, which is 
rapidly growing, between Hamburg and Valparaiso, and finally the Antwerp line has 
inaugurated a monthly line with Chili that will add a new link to our commercial 
intercourse with Europe. 

The coasting-trade is greatly enlarged by the national mercantile marine, and prin- 
cipally by the Compauia Sud-Americana de Vapores, supported by Chilian capitalists, 
who have already extended their line from the port of Coral to Callao, and will extend 
it to Panama in 1874. 

The amount of foreign trade of Chili for 1872 wa^ $71,780,388 ; of which $34,637,928 
were imports and $37,122,460 were exports. In that year the imports exceeded those 
of 1871 by $5,130,767, and the exports $8,026,048. 

The geographical situation of Chili, between 24° and 57° south latitude, the variety 
of its climate, generally temperate, and the fertility of its soil, mamtained by the per- 
ennial flow of numerous streams and rivers which have their source in the Cordilleras, 
produce a natural richness of the soil that could not be improved by the best manure. 
That fertility favors, in great measure, the production of cereals, all kinds of grain in 
great abundance, and natural grasses, and the greatest variety of fruit in the world. 

The streams and rivers, on account of the peculiar topographical formation of the 
country, present, in nearly all parts of it, natural falls, which may be utilized for all 
kinds of hydraulic power. 

Agriculture is well developed ; farmers, in the different operations of cultivation and 
harvest, making use of machines of the most recent inventions. 

The hemp, flax, and silk produced in this country are of the best quality. 

The cultivation of cereals is carried on on a large scale, and they are exported in large 
amounts to tUe neighboring states on the South Pacific, and to the principal ports of 
Great Britain and the continent of Europe, in which markets Chilian wheat ranks 
high. 

The crop of wheat in 1872 was 504,-577,758 liters, and that of barley 62,973,661 liters. 

Tiie value of the agricultural products exported in that year amounted to $12,- 
108,698. 

The mines, another of the great fountains of wealth of the country are remarkable 
the world over for the abundance and variety of their products. 

The i)r<)(lu(;tion of co[)i)er alone in Chili is equal to two-thirds of the yield of all the 
rest of tlxi world. 

Thci silver-mines of Copiajx'), of Iluasco, and other j^oints are also famous for their 
richness, and in s(;veral localities abundant placers of gold are found. Finally, Chili 
possesses considerable dei)osits of coal throughout the whole extent of her long coast, 
of which a large number of nunes are being worked on a large scale; and in the 
southern coal region the rich and abundant veins of iron w hich are found open a vast 
field for new industries. 



In 1872 the value of Chilian minerals exported to Europe amounted to 1^17,239,99:1. 

The financial institutions of the republic of Chili have already obtained a hi<;h state 
of devolo[>nuMit, and, owing to the powerful impulse of the spirit of association, the 
majority of these enterprises have very eHicaciously contributed to the improvement 
and progress of the country. The figures below will show the importance of the en- 
terprises realized by some of these associations : 

jN'ominal capital. Capital paid in. 

Banks of emission, discount, &c $75, 000, 000 !$18, 400, 000 

Railroads, (i)rivate enterprises) 15, 923, 000 15, 473, 000 

Steamers, sailing-vessels, &c. 6, 940, 000 4, 051, 000 

Fire-insurance, marine. Sac 14, 000, 000 1, 300, 000 

Saltpeter companies, (nitrate of soda) 3, 700, 000 2, 734, 000 

Mining companies 22,200,000 14,660,000 

Industrial companies 6,503,000 4,390,000 

144,272,000 61,008,000 

The profound peace which Chili has enjoyed during a great number of years, the 
spirit of activity and enterprise of her people, tlie great success and stability which 
have distingnisiied tlie institutions of credit and the industrial enterprises, the result, 
in great part, of the association of capital, lead us to expect that the exhibition which 
is in course of ]n-eparation for 1875 will give a powerful impulse to the improvement 
of the country, extending its relations, political and commercial, among all the civil- 
ized peoples of the earth.

closing of the exhibition, it is expected that they will communicate that intention in 
good season to the president of the exhibition. 

The objects to be exhibited must have a ticket attached with the following indica-

which case no duty will be charged. 

Third. The executive committee will allow forty dollars toward the payment of the 
passage to the country of every special workman or mechanic in charge of, or con- 
ducting, directing, or exhibiting machines or industries. The workmen who shall be 
willing to accex)t this position must be accredited with their passports, certified by 
the Chilian consul at the port of their embarkation, with the clause that they came 
to Chili for that especial purpose. 

The executive committee having solicited a reduction on the freight of goods on the 
way to the exhibition from the different lines of steamers running to Valparaiso, the 
result will be made known at an early day, in order that foreigners may make their 
calculations with regard to freight. 

K. B. dy the corresponding agent in the United States. — All the arrangements in the re- 
duction of freight, as well as anything else of interest to exhibitors, will be communi- 
cated to them by the commissioners in this country.
